Just like that, Celestine immediately led everyone to search the stone castle tower.
Since the Blackstone Orcs here have been cleared, everyone can go about their business as long as there are no enemies for the time being.
Michaela also took this opportunity to climb to the rooftop of the fortress with guard John who was only wearing his underpants, and chatted while standing guard and basking in the sun.
What?
Why doesn't Michaela go with the group of adventurers to get the loot, and isn't she afraid that Celestine and the others will steal the money in their pockets?
Torina jumped out and said: "The answer is that it is not necessary. His pockets are soul-bound items that others cannot use at all. In addition, although Michaela can get out of trouble alone, objectively speaking, Celestine and the others cannot It did help Mikaela, so the latter was too embarrassed to compete with them for the spoils, so she simply turned a blind eye."
Using this time, guard John and Michaela talked about a lot of things.
The fortress under their feet is called Stone Castle Fortress. It was originally used as the northeastern gateway of Lakeside Town to resist the overflow of gnolls in the area. However, after King Varian disappeared and Regent Bolvar came to power, he decided to shrink the defense and withdrew a large number of soldiers, which directly led to a serious shortage of local defense forces.
As a result, the Blackrock Orcs of the Burning Plains discovered this defensive loophole, and immediately launched a large-scale attack. They established a tearer camp around the cave in the northwest of Redridge Mountain near the gate of the Burning Plains, and continued to advance southward, laying down a stone fort with seriously insufficient defense. The fortress directly threatened the safety of Lakeside Town.
At this point, John sighed and said, "Why did the regent shrink the defense line? Doesn't he know that those in the north
Will the ferocious Blackstone Orcs take the black dragon south to destroy us? "
Well, this...
I said that Stormwind City issued too many public bonds, which led to a financial crisis. Therefore, after taking over the power and seeing the financial statements, Regent Bolvar immediately reduced the defense line to save money. Do you believe it?
Torina said: "Michaela, I don't think Guard John will believe it."
Ok, I know.
So Michaela didn't say anything, she just smiled awkwardly but politely, and said: "John, I am also a tribe member, do you have any problem with me and the whole family like this?"
"hey-hey."
Guard John laughed a few times and said, "Michaela, you are different from those Blackstone orcs, otherwise they would not arrest you. Also, are there factions within your tribe? Why did I hear the Blackstone Orc warlord say that they are not the same as you? A tribe?"
"You can understand it that way."
Michaela paused for a few seconds and organized some words: "The Blackstone Orcs and the Dragonmaw Orcs in the north are the remnants of the old tribe's invading army, and the tribe that we blood elves joined is the new tribe led by Thrall. It’s not the same faction as those old tribes.”
Since the Alliance has been an enemy of the Horde for a long time, many members of the Alliance will start filming without explanation after seeing a member of the Horde. However, there are very few rationalists like Guard John who ask about the situation first, and Michaela is also willing to educate him.
"I see, I understand."
Guard John nodded: "No wonder I heard from the night elves that the orc tribe also participated in the battle of Mount Hyjal to defend Azeroth. If it were those barbaric old tribes, this would be impossible."
"The chief
The new tribe led by Chang Thrall is no longer the original invader. The orcs were indeed used by demons in the past, but there are also kind and good people among them. "
Michaela smiled and said: "John, I think you are a nice person, so I will tell you a little more information."
"oh!"
Guard John was all ears.
Mikaela took advantage of the situation and said: "The Kingdom of Stormwind has already given a plan for the war in Arathi Basin. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be properly handled in two months. As for the Blackstone Orcs in the Burning Plains, War Chief Thrall actually doesn't care. Get used to them, and soon the warriors of the tribe will kill them."
Torina jumped out and explained: "This is not Mikaela's nonsense. Red-Blackhand, the chief of the Blackstone Orcs, is Thrall's father-killing enemy.
Both sides have sworn hatred. "
After hearing the above two pieces of news, the first one about Arathi's situation was easy to understand, but the second piece of news, that the tribal warriors would deal with the Blackstone Orcs, really shocked Guard John.
"Really?" Guard John stared at Mikaela. If the tribal warriors can really deal with the Blackstone Orcs, then they can help Lakeside Town solve a huge problem.
In this regard, Michaela smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Celestine and the others arrived on the rooftop.
"Michaela, is this yours?"
Celestine stretched out her right hand and handed over a bag, which was the demonized spirit pattern cloth bag that was taken away from Michaela.
"Yes, it's mine."
Michaela immediately took the pocket and hung it back on her waist. At the same time, she also took out two documents to prove her identity. One was the tribal ambassador's certificate with the seal from Jaina, and the other was the regent's certificate.
The pass given by Bolvar to Michaela, bearing the regent's seal.
The other people present, whether they were the alliance adventurers represented by Celestine or the guard John, they were all low-level civilians in the Kingdom of Stormwind and had never seen the seals of the kingdom's big shots, so they all shouted.
Guard John: "Wow!"
Belisarius Call: "Oh!"
Katarina Greyfax: "Ah!"
Evelyn: "Yeah!"
Cato Sicarius: "Oh!"
As for Celestine, she looked at Michaela with even more respect: "Ambassador Michaela, I didn't expect you to be a noble."
As a commoner, Celestine took it for granted that Mikaela had a noble status. However, whether he was a human saint in his previous life or as the blood elf Mikaela of Silvermoon City in this life, he was born as a commoner.
"Sorry, Celestine, I am not a noble. On the contrary, I am a commoner like you."
Therefore, Michaela’s life experience inspired her to say: “Don’t be blinded by your bloodline. The value of life is not determined by your bloodline, but by yourself.”
In a feudal kingdom world like Azeroth, what Mikaela said directly affected the outlook of everyone present, especially Celestine.
It turns out that the world is not divided by blood!
It turns out that civilians can also realize value on their own!
At this moment, Celestine looked at Mikaela with more respect, and even overlapped Mikaela and the mysterious golden figure that night again, feeling the warmth at that time...
Damn, what was I thinking!
Celestine shook his head to get rid of distracting thoughts. Mikaela is not, not...
etc.
, was he really not the golden figure that night?
Why do I always feel that he looks so familiar? It’s like we’ve met frankly together. Celestine’s eyes unknowingly focused on Michaela again.
"She's looking at you again."
Torina noticed Celestine's eyes immediately and said to Michaela: "What did your kid do to her that day to make Celestine look at you like this?"
"I do not know!"
Michaela argued: "Melina's charm spell was fully activated that day, and even I was affected by it. I don't know what she did."
Don't tell me, Michaela really wasn't shirking responsibility. Torina covered her face with her hands that night because she was shy and didn't see anything. When she went to look for Michaela's memory file, she found that the content at that time was completely blank. It's vague, it can only be confirmed that Michaela is definitely with Celestine, but what exactly did the two of them do...
"It seems that we can only ask Melina." Torina said.
On the other side, Cato Sicarius moved a large box of equipment to guard John and said, "I, Cato Sicarius, found these."
Guard John stepped forward and took a look. The wooden box was stuffed with the guard's armor and many guard-standard long swords. They were obviously the heritage of the guards of the Stone Castle Fortress. As for his original equipment, he might not be able to find it back.
"At least it's usable."
Guard John was not picky. He dug out a set of clean-looking linings from the box and put them on his body. Then he put on his armor and picked up his sword. This Lakeside Town guard finally looked good.
"alright."
After dressing up, the guard John said: "Let us go back to Solomon
Mayor Men, please come back to life. "
"Um."
Just when the adventurers were about to return to Lakeside Town, a 400-strong Blackstone Orc army suddenly appeared in the northwest of Stone Castle Fortress. They were rushing towards Stone Castle Fortress. According to calculations, it would take about an hour. Hour.
"Damn it."
Greyfax shouted: "The orc reinforcements are coming, and they just happen to be at this time!"
As the captain of the team, Celestine immediately ordered: "Get ready to fight."
Huh?
fighting?
Just how many of them?
Why don't they run away?
"The answer is you can't run away!"
Torina jumped out and explained: "Stone Castle Fortress is located in the east of Lakeside Town, so if they want to return to Lakeside Town or follow the road to the west, they will definitely run into the orc reinforcements."
"What? Go around Shisui Lake from the east, or take the south road? Sorry, that's not possible either!"
Torina shook her finger: "The east side of the Stone Castle Fortress is the territory of the jackals, and there are also jackals in the south. It's not an easy road."
Celestine, who was also aware of the above situation, immediately made a decision: "We can rely on the defense of the Stone Castle Fortress. In addition, the opponent's number of people is not particularly large. We can return alive."
Everyone except Michaela, including guard John, all shouted "Okay" in unison. They knew very well that this battle was inevitable and they could only live towards death.
As for Michaela, he looked at them calmly and did not speak. On the contrary, Torina was extremely excited:
"Mikayla, that little Blackstone Orc is not enough for you to fill your teeth. What are you going to do? Let me summon the players, or do it yourself, or summon the Demon Guard Hana
Ma? "
With Mikaela's current strength, those Blackstone Orcs are really not enough to defeat. But Michaela was not in a hurry to show her strength. On the contrary, because of the incident just now, Michaela became interested in Celestine.
What illusion did Melina let this human woman see that day that made her come out of the cold and lonely feeling and become what she is now?
However, after only half an hour, the above thoughts were completely dismissed from Mikayla's mind, because:
"This fortress is leaking from all sides, and even a large part of the city wall is broken!"
Celestine looked at the dilapidated stone fortress in front of him and said solemnly: "We have no terrain to defend at all!"
hehe.
Michaela also saw that after the Blackstone Orcs conquered the Stone Castle Fortress, they never repaired it, resulting in the fortress losing all its defensive advantages.
"With a small number against a large number, there is no terrain to defend."
Torina also spoke to summarize the situation:
"It's over. How can we win?"
